One of New England’s most controversial prosecutors will soon be out of job following Tuesday’s election — after his tenure was dogged by controversy over his prosecution of Karen Read and the botched probe of a cop accused of killing Sandra Birchmore. Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey, a Democrat, did not run again after four terms in office. He’s set to be replaced by Democrat Djuna Perkins, who spent 10 years working as a prosecutor before going into private practice, according to a report by the Sun Chronicle.
